Now I think understand, that’s very slick! I wish applied maths was more my thing. Not seen the product rule of two variables expressed like that before.

As always thanks again, your advice is very much appreciated. I will try again tomorrow and hopefully succeed. I think I’ve become confused due, in part, to the wording early on in the text. Initially the author states that, to begin with the two words ‘error’ an ‘uncertainty’ will be...

Just wanted let you know that I have been trying to crack this today but am not there yet. It's been a long time since I've done any calculus and this partial differentiation is very new to me. That being said, I have had a go but from slightly different point of view. I read a rule in the...

This is Taylor's rule from his text

Thank you for the explanation, this problem seems to have a more difficult solution than I first thought. I’m assuming partial differentiation is the way forward. I will try the calculation tomorrow and let you know how it goes. Thank you for putting so much and effort into your replies, it...

Thank you very much for your reply. I had read in the error text by Taylor that I’m reading about derivatives but I wasn’t sure if that was applicable as the angles are known so it appeared to me as each length was just getting multiplied by a scalar. I transferred this logic to my error...

Okay, I have rewritten the question as best I can using Latex and have attached a pdf of this below. I did not add the LaTeX code as the document contains a diagram and I am unsure if MathJax can cope with diagrams. As I am still unsure with regards to which uncertainty to take as correct (see...

Thank you very much for getting back to me. I think perhaps I need to reformulate the question in order to make it applicable to error analysis. I will try and prepare something today. With regards to your comment on half a gradation, I would completely agree with you as my intuition tells me...

Homework Statement The following may appear to be a rather strange question but I have no access to a lab to conduct experiments so I have to rely on my imagination, and questions from textbooks, to contrive questions that will hopefully improve my understanding of a topic. I have recently...

Just wanted to introduce myself as I'm totally new to this kind of thing. I'm currently self-educating in maths and physics and was hoping, from time to time, to ask questions on topics or concepts that I'm struggling with. I am not studying towards any specific qualification; I just have a...
